As one of only two real airplane manufacturing companies (the other being AirBus), I don't see how getting rid of Boeing would help consumers. If anything, AirBus would have latitude to let its own quality control slip, but now their planes would comprise 100% of fleets instead of 50%.
- simcop2387 7y agoThe thing is, this isn't someone directly deciding that Boeing shouldn't be in business and that them not being there will help consumers, but instead decisions made by boeing have now severely hurt their reputation and the rest of the market no longer sees them as trustworthy. You can't really mandate that the rest of the world see them as trustworthy.
- CivBase 7y agoBoeing's assets would be sold and someone else would use them to service a market in need of competition. I can think of a few parties who I suspect would be interested. All you have to do is bar AirBus from purchasing those assets. I doubt AirBus would want those assets anyways. It would make them an obvious monopoly and invite even more regulation than they're already facing. Companies rarely outright disappear. They get absorbed and operate under new management.
